For the past two years, the FotoEvidence Book Award has honored the collective efforts of 95 photographers documenting the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its devastating impact. This year’s edition, Ukraine: Love+War, highlights the war’s effects on families and children and will be presented alongside Ukraine: A War Crime, published in 2023. These publications serve as a vital record of the war and emphasize the critical role of photojournalists in documenting history as it unfolds.

Join contributing photographers Natalie Keyssar, Sasha Maslov, Wolfgang Schwan, and Timothy Fadek for a panel discussion moderated by editor Sarah Leen.
